Richard A Miller

Richard A. Miller is a Research Professor at the University of Michigan's Institute of Gerontology. He is affiliated with the Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center and the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics. His research focuses on aging mechanisms, longevity interventions, and molecular biology using mouse models. Recent work includes studies on proteomic changes in longevity interventions, PTEN's role in autophagy, and lifespan extension via drugs like astaxanthin. Miller collaborates extensively, evidenced by multiple co-authored articles in high-impact journals like Geroscience and Nature Communications. His methodologies include innovative techniques like Histodenz separation for lysosomal analysis. While no formal awards are listed, his active publication record reflects sustained academic engagement.

Research interests span aging pathways, autophagy regulation, and translational pharmacology. Key themes include understanding how genetic and pharmacological interventions affect lifespan and healthspan in mammals. His work integrates molecular, biochemical, and computational approaches to decode aging's biological underpinnings.

Labs/Teams: Active in interdisciplinary teams across the Institute of Gerontology and affiliated centers, focusing on systems biology of aging and drug discovery for longevity. Mentoring: Open to mentoring students in aging research, though specific advisees are not listed here.
